These monkeys are going bananas on one another.

[b]Same-sex monkeying around is all the rage among the rhesus macaques on Cayo Santiago, a 38-acre island off the coast of Puerto Rico, per a July 2023 study.

And the researchers determined that 72% of the 236 male primates enjoy engaging in gay sex. They, too, discovered that the male-on-male romps could produce reproductive benefits among the collection of mostly secluded monkeys. [/b]

That’s wild!

“Our results demonstrate that same-sex socialsexual behavior is frequent in rhesus macaques, can evolve and is not costly [to their overall fitness],” read the study, led by Vincent Savolainen, a professor of organismic biology and director of the Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet at Imperial College London.

In 2017, 2019 and 2020, Savolainen and his team closely observed the social and mounting behaviors of the rhesus macaques — descendants of apes that were transported to the tiny island from[b]India[/b]for remote observations back in 1938. Savolainen notes that the rhesus macaques shared a common ancestor with humans approximately 25 million years ago, per the study.

[b]He and the analysts found that the same-sex behaviors of the macaques were both repeatable and heritable[b] — meaning the monkeys copycatted the intercourse they observed and, in addition, performed the act based on their genetic predisposition.

However, the investigation found that [b]only 6% of the gay rendezvous could be attributed to the monkeys’ genes.[b]

[b]In the case of the macaques, however, researchers found that the same-sex dalliance were mostly rooted in social perks — such as improved evolutionary fitness — rather than romance.[b]

They, too, discovered that rather than one male monkey asserting his dominance over another through mounting, the macaques view the sexual act as somewhat of a “wingman” bonding ritual when it comes to mating with females or supporting one another in spats with other monkeys.

[b]“We found that males that mounted each were also more likely to support each other during conflicts with other individuals as part of coalitions,” read the study. “In macaques, forming male coalitions has been shown to improve reproductive success, indicating that social benefits of [same-sex social-sexual behavior] can at least partly explain its evolutionary maintenance in these primates.”[/b]

Actually, the Spartans believed in the same thing. They encouraged sexual bonding between men (especially veteran soldiers trainers and young recruits) because they believed that the physical bonding would make them closer in terms of relationships and support each other with more vigor and energy during battle etc.

Even a monkey can see what narrative this cawk sucker is trying to push

Nah I'm sweet

Actually Spartans wrote about ending the practice and in reality was more like predatory old creepers telling the young boyos they need this for their “careers”

And the Spartans were like nah fam, let’s teach the young boyos they can fight back as long as they murder the creeper in a way they don’t get caught.

Dead ass srs

Dude just wanted to take extended vacations and came up with this topic for easy grant money.
